Only four of the regions have any consistent discussion on this site: Central, West, Midwest, and Atlantic. All the South Central has is a West Texas A&M basketball thread over on the football side. The South, Southeast, and East have nothing.

Hmm...as someone who has been around longer than you, I can remember the early days that showed the amount of threads and posts by region (perhaps by conference). I remember talking to buddies about how we have more posts that then the rest of D2 combined. The chatter hear was intense and pickem was awful to try to keep up with. Now, it's just really gotten quiet. You couldnt go an hour without one of the large number of Winona posters to comment going back 10-15 years. Now they have what, two active posters?
Success breeds chatter, jutlst how it goes.

On an Augie note, I'm pretty excited about this USF game. If we play like we did this past weekend, we have a chance to get them back from a few weeks ago. And with this season not exactly meeting/exceeding expectations, the next best thing would be helping to keep USF out of the Regional in what is the best D2 season they've ever had.

Not saying MIAA ever had more posts or conversations than NSIC, just that it has went down for MIAA overall and NW in the last 5-6 years.
Edit: For context, including this season there have been 21 seasons since 2000. NW has had 17 20+ win seasons, 1 19 win season, and the aforementioned 3 sub .500 seasons. National championships are new for the program but it has been a successful program for a long time.Last edited by NWHoops; 02-18-2020, 09:03 AM.

Actually there was quite a bit more discussion among all the MIAA folks, including Bearcat fans, prior to the changes in the regions. We just weren't in the same region as the nsic at that time so you weren't familiar. My username and join date speak for themselves. Definitely not D1 material though.

If I remember right bearcat BB chatter was null and void along with attendance until well after they started winning.

Goodness...this hallowed thread has slipped to the third page of the forum. Shameful.
Nice to see the Vikes getting somewhat back on track. Mankato is obviously a 50/50 team, but since they beat us fairly soundly in our last matchup, it was good to see Augie come out and get a win against them this past weekend.
Even without Cartwright (and Hanson, who seems to be injured/un-injured every other weekend), they looked a lot more this weekend like the team Augie fans thought they would be.
I'm not trying to give myself false hope, but if (big IF) the Vikings can continue this type of play, I might actually be a little optimistic about a couple of wins in the NSIC Tournament. Unfortunately, this team has had rough stretches all season long, so if we get into a tight game with a team like Northern, Duluth, etc. and end up with one of those 8-10 minute lulls that we've suffered a few times this season, that will be tough to overcome. Either way, I'm just glad to see us get a few wins in a row and hopefully keep building chemistry that will make an impact next year. We don't lose a ton of talent to graduation, so if guys commit this summer to getting better--specifically when it comes to improving shooting percentages--and Cartwright is healthy (noticed he was on crutches this weekend, so I'm wondering if his injury has just gotten worse or if he had surgery or something), I think the tools are still in place to be a strong team next season.
